t 08, Sure that is attractive, but there is a recession. I have no cash & expect many other people struggle also. Add shipping cost from Europe to USA, to further narrow the amount of people who can afford the purchase.

I do barter & have pm'ed teachatters asking to barter resulting in swaps. I don't think that is easy through websites.

It's hard for me to believe no one has yet to buy this marvelous kyusu set. I really enjoy the synchronicity between the pieces and the soft, white glaze in contrast to the red clay.

Becouse of the (holy) ruls of this forum I can not say hare anything good about this vendor so I will not say it is a bad place. Thanks "TeaArt08" for some good words about this set. I am happy of this one too. The twin is in Netherlands.

Dear Ethan,I'm really sorry and I can feel somehow guilty because of shipping price but believe me I have nothing to do with recession in States.

I love to do barter too, but my energy suppiler, baker, pediatrist etc. are not interested at all. besta.

What a glorious tea day! Unexpectedly the weather turned nice for my week of holiday and I am ceratinly enjoying it with some nice yancha using some lovely teware from Andrzej. I am not a professional photographer but I think you can see why I enjoyed it very much:

NPE, That pot looks great. I especially like the handle as it looks strong w/ enough space to get fingers in for a good grip. Always nice to look on this thread as A.B. uses lots of different colors & produces a large variety of styles.

This pot not only looks great, it also feels great! I always have the mental picture of stroking Yul Brunner's head when I touch it (no, I am not THAT old, I just like old movies ) and it really is very easy to get a good, safe grip. In short: a ray of sunshine, even on a rainy day - which today fortunately it is not

Unexpected and stunning teaware. I was not prepared for such rich, cool tones in the glaze. I can't say I've personally seen anything quite like it. I like the pot with the plate very much. Enjoy!

This arrived from Andrzej the other day; I didn't have a chance to season it until last night. It's 70ml and possesses a very earthy, simple presence/aesthetic. Today I poured a good high mt. wulong from Taiwan in the pot and the pot seems really alive when paired with the tea. The pour went 10 rounds and it carried nice consistency/dynamic in flavor and color and fragrance through the rounds. I am excited to see what the pot does as it grows more seasoned; I'll be definitely devoting it to Taiwan high mt. wulong tea.

Thank you Andrzej for the quick shipping, the workmanship, and clear communication!
